The 1 You Been Looking For.
I tried like 5 rom's,Sense 3.5 version rom's, rom's without sense based on ICS, and they all have like big bugs or lags, like ICS have screwed camera very low quality pictures, some sense 3.5 rom's have problems with 720p recording I can record but can't reproduce, and 480p recording was screwed on last rom, I think it was energy rom, and signal was bad I did put latest radio will try radio before that to see if it's going to be any better, and few Sense 3.5 rom's don't have option to import contacts from Sd card, becouse I got vcard and I couldn't import them without that option.

I'm using 4EXT recovery for paritioning, becouse I think it's the easiest way with that recovery and always put 1Gb of Ext partition and of course read for each rom is it better on EXT3 or 4

I know there are a lot of topics like mine, but I couldn't find anything usefull, so please suggest me some let's say "most used" rom on hd2 that doesn't have big bugs, and that is working normally, thank you.

Sense is laggy, everybody knows that. Not all ROM's have big bugs, if a ROM has a big bug, it's probably a beta or a WIP. Otherwise, the big bug is most likely caused by your device.

like ICS have screwed camera very low quality pictures,
Again, most likely your camera is malfunctioning. I have tried several ICS ROMs, and the camera is working just fine, and the images' qualities are fantastic. (As a matter of fact, I am currently using ICS, and the camera takes superb pictures) (my rom is in my sig)

some sense 3.5 rom's have problems with 720p recording I can record but can't reproduce,
The HD2 does not record on 720p on Android, if you want 720p go to Windows Phone.

and 480p recording was screwed on last rom, I think it was energy rom,
Sense 3.5 is known for having a bad camcorder, deal with it if you want sense 3.5.

and signal was bad I did put latest radio will try radio before that to see if it's going to be any better,
Signal is not related to ROMs usually, and since you tried "several" Roms and still got a bad signal, the issue is from your end.

and few Sense 3.5 rom's don't have option to import contacts from Sd card, becouse I got vcard and I couldn't import them without that option.
Blame HTC/Google for not putting that option, it's not the developers' fault. Another way is you can import that vcard into your google account on the web, and the next time you sync your account on your HD2, your contacts will be downloaded automatically.

I know there are a lot of topics like mine, but I couldn't find anything usefull, so please suggest me some let's say "most used" rom on hd2 that doesn't have big bugs, and that is working normally, thank you.
Of course you won't find anything useful, because threads like this usually get closed or the OP is flamed. If you want the most used, you can check on the right of NAND forum. You will see the views and posts. The one with the highest views is obviously the most popular.

Good luck in your journey.:angel:

Check this site http://android.hd2roms.com/.
You can use it to find the most popular ROM. Just try the one, which has more views and replies. But as Marvlesz said, every ROM has its own issue.
If you don't agree, revert back to Windows.
I was on site but I still wan't to hear from personal opinion what is like most fluid and smoothest rom for you that you have on your hd2 with sense and without sense, and of course that camera and stuff like that are working normal.

that there isn't answering any of my questions that I asked in my second post ;)
As a member since 2009 you should know by now how threads like this go. The 'best', 'most fluid', 'smoothest', 'lowest battery drain' etc. ROMs DON'T EXIST. It's all a matter of personal opinion, you will never get one single correct answer. Marvlesz's post is pretty much as good as you'll get. If you want the most used/popular ROM then look at how many views each thread has and how many posts there are. It may not be exactly correct but there's undoubtedly going to be a correlation. Otherwise, you're going to have to try out ROMs and decide for yourself. At the very least you could provide more details about exactly what you'd use your phone for, then MAYBE we could help you.

I replied to your request which was "please suggest me some let's say "most used" rom on hd2" with "If you want the most used, you can check on the right of NAND forum. You will see the views and posts. The one with the highest views is obviously the most popular."

Also Alex.KAI provided you with that useful site.

Now do you really want me to foresee your question in post #3 and answer it before you even post it? I am sorry man for not being a soothsayer or a wizard. I can't know questions before you tell them.

The least you could have done was pressing the thanks button, to show that you're grateful for my trying to help. Even if I didn't foresee and answer your not-told question, I explained why you were facing issues with your phone.


Now to answer your question in post #3:
Based on my experience, there was no ROM that stayed smooth with me a few months after the installation. Once I start using any ROM and installing apps, it tends to get slower and start to lag after a while.

And I am certain that many people may disagree with me, but that's my experience.

There you go. I hope you're not expecting me to answer a question in an upcoming post :p .

Good luck.
